During most of my conversations with my girlfriends we discuss dating, relationships, and of course the horror stories are always in the mix. Instead of focusing on the negative stories, I pulled together a list of things that men are doing right. If you stick to this list you will have a better chance of getting that second, third, and beyond date.

In the era of “Netflix and chill” it seems like nowadays, dating and courting is a lost art. It seems as though the fellas are putting in less effort to impress a woman during the pursuit of her and women are becoming either accepting of the lackluster approaches or fed up to the point where they don’t even want to date anymore.

Ah, the life of a bachelor. It doesn’t get any better. This is the best time of your life. Your bank account is looking nice. You and your boys hit up the club or bar every weekend. At the drop of a dime, you hop on a plane and party in any and every city you desire. And the most important of them all, you’re getting laid by an abundance of women!

Thank God for women. What would this world be without them? Well, there actually wouldn’t be a world now that I think about it. Women are the creators of life. They’re the nurturers. They’re the first love of all of us. Our first bond. They mold and groom us. There is nothing stronger than a woman’s love. In short, we can’t live life without them. And who would want to?

A lot of women say that they know within the first few moments of meeting a man if they’ll have sex with him or not. Now although there is much truth to this, it’s definitely not as black and white as it sounds.

A lot of men walk around with these super big egos, like they’re God’s gift to women and think that because they’ve been blessed with a King Kong sized penis, they automatically have THE KEY. Some think that because they last all night and can go round for round, it’s the end all be all.
